More Insights
Built in 1957 (69 years old).
Condition: This 1957-built home has received thoughtful updates such as newer vinyl flooring, dual-pane windows, fresh interior paint, and modern stainless steel kitchen appliances. However, the kitchen cabinetry and wood countertops retain a dated mid-century style, and both bathrooms are significantly outdated in terms of fixtures, tiling, and overall aesthetic, requiring substantial renovation to meet current standards. While clean and well-maintained, the property's core systems and wet areas show their age, aligning with the 'Fair' category where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.
